Switch between Conservative, Base and Upside scenarios to compare weekly visitor volumes for each site and in total, benchmarked against proven single-operator figures on Arches Lane.
Base Scenario · Steady Run-Rate Target via City-Wide Draw
Boutique Social (Arch 1), The Lab, FOH Cafe, Mezzanine Co-Working & Concept Retail
4,500/ wk
Aether Gallery (Arch 2), Main Bar (Arch 3), Projection Gaming (Arch 4) & The Yard
6,000/ wk
⚠ Safety buffer — We hold Site 2 at 6,000 rather than the P&L's 7,343 to protect the 50-person hourly cap in Aether and the 90-minute gaming block turnarounds. This keeps the guest experience clean and prevents overcrowding in the LiDAR tracking zones.
Base Scenario · on the shoulder of P&L 11,401
10,500/ wk
Base of 10,500 / wk sits just below the P&L's 11,401 baseline — driven by pan-London digital pull rather than passing footfall.
Daytime FOH cafe and Mezzanine co-working visitors convert into evening Lab ticket sales, lifting spend per guest above what a single-use hospitality venue achieves.
Corporate buyouts in The Lab yield up to £7,500 per 2-hour window, filling quiet midweek daytime slots at premium dry-hire rates.
FOH Analogue Kits and Mezzanine Vinyl/Poster units generate a guaranteed £36,000 pa licence fee — entirely independent of footfall.
Investor comparison
8,000–12,000 / wk each
A single restaurant on Arches Lane — such as Roti King or Tonkotsu — draws 8,000–12,000 customers per week on its own.
4,500 + 6,000 / wk
City-wide digital and content marketing lets off-grid. target a Base capacity of 10,500 weekly guests — Site 1 at 4,500 and Site 2 at 6,000 — in line with the P&L baseline targets.
10,500 / wk combined
Pan-London digital funnels pull high-intent visitors from across the city rather than relying on passing footfall alone. We hold our target at 10,500 rather than the P&L's 11,401 as a deliberate safety buffer — preventing overcrowding and protecting the timed guest experience in Aether Gallery and Arch 4.
Rooted in the landlord's active estate calendars — a secure organic base with incremental destination growth.
Securely insulated by daily estate habits
The 80% organic base comes from the 3,500 residents and 4,200 office workers using Arch 1 workspace, the FOH cafe and Arch 3 Main Bar as part of their daily routines — regular, reliable demand that underpins the model.
Incremental commercial upside engine
The 20% destination uplift comes from ticketing and major estate events. The CelebrASIA festival drew 176,094 visitors over a single weekend (6 Sep 2025) and the Glide Ice Rink sells 175,000 tickets each Christmas. Our Aether timed entries, Elrow/Homebass terrace raves and cultural programming tap into this spending pool — incremental high-margin revenue that a standard bar or restaurant would miss.
Christmas / Winter alignments
Winter sponsorship aligns with BPS’s Christmas attractions — the Glide ice rink, the Kylie Minogue illumination switch-on and her exclusive holiday wine range pop-up bar inside the Power Station.
How visitor traffic converts across core revenue channels.
Daily food and beverage covers plus high-margin wet sales across every bar on site.
The volume driver of the venue. Arch 3 (The Main Bar) and The Yard Container Bar power beverage sales across both sites — steady all-day trade seven days a week that covers fixed operating costs.
Arch 3 Main Bar & Yard Container Bar drive cross-site wet-sale margins
Timed-entry admissions and evening event ticket lines.
Revenue spikes around programming and headline nights. Spend per head is higher than walk-in trade, and pre-booking gives early visibility on demand for staffing and stock planning.
High spend per head on programmed nights
Full-venue and partial-zone hire for corporate and private clients.
The highest-value transactions in the model. A few bookings can match weeks of walk-in revenue, and they typically land midweek when public demand is quietest — filling the calendar where it matters most.
Largest deal sizes, fills quiet midweek slots
Large-scale projected retro-arcade booking system in Unit 744.
A destination activity that keeps groups on site longer. Lane hire has strong margin, and extended dwell time drives additional food, drink and add-on spend.
Strong group spend plus knock-on F&B uplift
Neighbourhood Pass and tiered membership subscriptions.
The most predictable revenue line. Monthly fees build a loyal local base, increase visit frequency and create income that can be forecast reliably in advance.
Predictable, recurring committed income
Retail, licensing and high-margin brand partnership lines.
Front-of-House cafe retail selling premium branded 'Analogue Kits'.
Daytime FOH cafe retail selling branded 'Analogue Kits' — homeware, diaries, notebooks, terrariums, incense and candles. Modelled at a 45% COGS buffer for forecasting.
45% safe baseline COGS model allocation
Independent Mezzanine 'Vinyl & Vintage Poster Store'.
An independent 'Vinyl & Vintage Poster Store' on the permanent Mezzanine level, selling music records, zines and vintage prints. Runs on a straight licence fee of £1,500 per month (£18,000 pa) — no inventory overhead.
£18,000 pa base licence fee, no inventory overhead
Tiered brand sponsorship and activation packages across the venue.
Target of £1.15M pa, benchmarked against Outernet London’s ~£18M run rate. High-margin income — brands pay to reach the audience the venue already attracts.

Tracking against Base Scenario targets
4,500/ wk

6,000/ wk
Track weekly ticket sales, checkout conversions and capacity fill-rates for Site 2 — Aether slots (50-person hourly cap), 90-minute gaming blocks in Arch 4, Main Bar wet sales and The Yard container bar. Note: the legacy P&L Base of 7,343 is flagged as an unrealistic density risk against these hard capacity limits.
